Mia Speech Prove-it

Do you regret the time you laid the Xbox controller in your father's eyesight when you had to do something important, like serving yourself icecream? Huge mistake. When you return, your epic pool in Minecraft is swarming with squids! 

Kauri Team Event

Distinction evidence: Kauri team event

Over the past 3 days, the year 7/8 have been participating in Koru Games. I have been in the Girls Basketball team. 

I really enjoyed getting 3 baskets towards our win against Lincoln 5-0 because it was our first win. 

Thinking back to the beginning of the year, I really improved on being competitive towards the opposition and dribbling around people.

Something I will remember about Koru Games is my epic savior of scoring 3 points against Lincoln.

PALS

Excellence evidence: PALS

Yesterday, I took over Poppy's job as a PAL because I couldn't do it today (winter sport). We were with the juniors and we played a numerous amount of games. We played Octopus, Simon Says, Crocodile Tag and many more. It was quite difficult to explain the boundaries to the kids as we didn't have any cones, yet you should know if you're playing on the Junior side of the field, or the Senior playground.. Nearly everybody got a turn at being Simon but the kids who didn't started up the game 'Crocodile Tag'. It was very fun

Radio Station

Excellence evidence: Radio Station

On Wednesday, Emma, Hayley, and I were the DJ's of Oaklands School. I have to say I may have to double check the song I'm playing because we started a song when I realized the song was 8 minutes long!!! We played half of it then we had to do a sudden interruption and apologize to our many viewers. We always muck around in the Radio Room and we almost committed a crime: not turning our microphones on!!! Last time our microphones weren't on for nearly the whole session! Until Mr McCallum saved us...

Music lessons

Excellence evidence: Music lessons with Roger Hamilton

Today Sarah, Jesse and I got a free (not really) guitar lesson because a couple of weeks ago, Roger was sick so we missed out, but we had to have another one because our parents have paid for ALL the lessons. It was fabulous! Last week, Roger gave us "Hold Back the River" by James Bay which is my absolute favourite song at the moment. When he gave it to us, we had no idea what the picky bit was and even Roger struggled with it! He still is struggling with it but I spent a whole day playing guitar so I can nail it! It is a really beautiful song and Sarah and I are going to perform it in the Oakland's Got Talent. I hope we do well...
